What are stones? The word stone is used in common parlance and also in stonework, architecture and engineering to refer to any natural material characterized by a high consistency. As raw material, stone is usually extracted from quarries and mining. How many kinds of stone do you know? In architecture, is called stone hard body that grows on land and used to carve the walls of buildings. We can distinguish the following types of stones:
Blocks: Stones are removed from the quarry, carved with flat walls and square with each other, used in stone masonry walls under various rigs.
Ashlars: The stone blocks than are smaller, extracted from the quarry and also carved itself with flat walls and square. The term is mainly applied to stones can be operated with one hand.
Stone masonry: Any formless quarry stone can not be framed. Also called stone masonry to other non-quarry extracted of rivers and is on the surface of the earth.
Granigorda stone: those with grade fat
Massive stone: Has no defect.
Stone lost: The amount of stones that are placed on the foundation in some cases no interlocking and lime that join.
Chillistone: Only is carved with the peak.
Rough stone: Uncut
What characteristics do stones have? Isasolid materialextracted fromnature,withgreatdurability. Why are stones used in construction? The high compressive strength of many stones have given him fame eternal building materials, also in the pavement, the stone has a chargeability and maximum abrasion resistance, also the stones have an endless array of colors, structures and textures, allowing for almost for every requirement exist a suitable stone as a building material.
Paragraph 2:
Stones:
Various types of materials are often used for the construction of architectural structures.
According to the part of the structure or the type of structure to be built the appropriate material is chosen taking into account their properties and the advantages and disadvantages that they bring with them. For example, stone is one of the materials used in the construction field, mainly for the construction of monumental works, as it has many advantages: it is extracted from nature, has excellent adaptability to sculptural treatment and high durability.
But also has its disadvantages: represents a major difficulty extracted from quarries, transported and cut, is weak in tension, is expensive and it is unstable when loads pushing at angle, for this, for example, supports from the vaults and arches should be reinforced by other elements juxtaposed made of other materials.
However, for the loads resistance of stone masonry, it is necessary bonding this, and the best way to do it is not to match up the vertical joints of the upper line with the joints of the inferior line, this because the stone resists the deformation more than any bonding material. But according to the characteristics of the stone, it can be used for bonding, materials barely bonded; or stonework: in the form of rubble, roughly broken stone bounded in mortar; or ashlar masonry, blocks regular cut to make walls and entablature, for example.
Rubble is the simplest and cheapest stonework, and ashlar masonry is the strongest and most suitable stonework for monumental architecture.
In addition, there are very resistant stones that serve as columns or beams and even roofing, but this is something invaluable when erected a building, for this, currently, other products are used as structural elements because they are cheaper and more efficient. However, stones are still used as a surface layer because their texture and color is an expressive element.
Stone may have several applications in the field of construction due to its high consistency and that is why it is an important material for erecting a work of architecture.
